Vanilla Pudding & Strawberry Trifle

So the other day when I made Golden Pound Cake, I got a little carried away and decided to use the leftover cake to make a few mini Strawberry Trifles. Oh they were soooo yummy! Kinda wish I would've just made one large trifle to begin with it was that good. Kinda wishing I had one right now... Kinda thinking to myself that I may have myself a problem... and kinda thinking that the only way to fix that problem would be to go make another trifle...

For the Vanilla Pudding:

3 Tbsp. Cornstarch

1/2 cup Sugar

1/8 tsp. Salt

3 cups Milk (whole is best)

3 egg Yolks

1 tsp. Vanilla

2 Tbsp. Butter

For the Cream:

1 cup Heavy Whipping Cream

1/2-3/4 cup sugar

1 pound of strawberries (washed and sliced)

Combine the first 5 ingredients together in a large saucepan and whisk over medium heat.  Whisk consistently bringing the pudding to a boil and boiling for 2 minutes (the pudding will begin to thicken at this point)  Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla and butter.  

Cool the pudding in the fridge for a couple of hours.  Meanwhile, slice the strawberries, whip up the cream till stiff peaks form, and cut the cake into bite sized cubes.  When the pudding is cool enough; either in 1 large trifle bowl or 4 glasses; layer the pudding, then cake, then strawberries, and then repeat. When you have reached about 3/4 way to the top, top off the trifle with whipped cream and a couple of whole strawberries.
